      @@domzyFresh Awesome! Don't give up! It might be easier to get hired than you think because there is apparently a shortage of software developers.
      I actually found a bootcamp type thing that pays you minimum wage to take their courses for three months. And in my opinion that's much better than having to pay for training haha.
      The bootcamp was with a company called Revature. It's not for everyone because you have to be willing to work minimum wage for three months and then to relocate at the end of your training to whatever client they hook you up with. You have to stick with that client for two years while being paid less than the industry standard (but still pretty decent for a starting salary--I'm making nearly $60,000/ year right now and it will increase to $72,000 after one year).
      It's not a magical unicorn dream that makes you rich, but it gets your foot in the door as a developer. Anyway, if you have any trouble finding a job after your bootcamp, you might consider Revature. If you're up for another intense bootcamp experience and earning minimum wage hehe.

I started by looking at simple games, like tic-tac-toe, and tried to understand the mechanics behind it. Once i did, i started thinking of ways i could write code that would result in a very basic and simplified version of that game.
      I would also recommend, on a side note, signing up to online contests for competitive programming, like CodeChef. It really has helped me become more efficient in the programming language i was using, and it was overall just a fun excercise. And it's no big deal if you fail a test, since the more you try the better you become

      1/ Are SQL, Python and R enough to get a permanent position as a Data Analyst / Data Scientist?
      2/ How much time do I need to be able to manage and organize databases, and use them to produce statistical analysis and graphs?
      3/ If I am hired, can the employer change his / her mind and ask me to code in other languages that were not written in my curriculum, such as C++ or Java?

      @@vegetossgss1114 3/ Yes they can. Depending on the country and its labour laws, employers can make you do things that are related to your position. Like if you're a python programmer and the last guy of the C/assembly-Microcontroller-Team died in a car accident, they may give you the work. Things like cleaning toilets is usually not allowed as it is not related to the position youre hired for. There is no reason to be afraid of that though. No sane person expects you to be great at doing things you never claimed you were and it really rarey happens. It makes little sense to hire you to be a python expert data analyst, pay you a salary for that, and then make you do things where your skills are severly underdeveloped.

    No 4: be proactive. I was using a book to study python. I was writing code following along and I felt like I understood what I was doing but at the same time I wasn’t progressing. I then tried Minecraft’s computercraft which was Lua coding. And I took an idea and tried to make it my own with how I would have wanted the program to run. With the help of chatGPT I started to understand more. The concept and the basics. Even though it wasn’t the same language I started, it still made me understand it alot and made me feel like I was actually progressing.
    Just like he said, you start to ask questions naturally on how to do this or that and it helped me build my program in Minecraft. Now im planning on moving outside of Minecraft and back to python and start doing this with other ideas that I won’t be limited to in a game.

    I have been programming for 6 months, recently I started learning how to architect programs and started flow charting out my idea, broke down every variable, class, object and method and now I am just working through the flow chart one step at a time, sometimes updating the flow chart to what worked in practice, if I don't know how to solve a problem I google it. It's been really effective and efficient.

    Many programming youtubers only make videos to shill advertisements when they grow big, I really appreciate the fact that you’re different. I don’t mind seeing in video ads, but it gets annoying when creators base all of their videos solely around the ads that they mention in them (ex: nick white, Internet Made Coder, etc).

    bro what u said abt learning python first before other languages was true. I started taking my course as I.T and used c++ as our first programming language, it was difficult to understand first because of a lot of syntax than python. I tried python and after a few days, I already understand the concept of algorithms and came back to c++ and it made easier for me to understand.

    1. Do it, totally agree. I don't learn from books I learn from watching videos, reading tutorials and tweaking the result then applying it in a real scenario. Also 2. work with the whole chain from code to deployment. I.e lear git, linux, docker, aws, build servers etc. Write code, write tests, write build workflow, package, publish & deploy. This will also help debugging when something goes wrong.

    Copying is so helpful when you're completely lost, i became trilingual because all i did was copy native speakers' way of talking, sentence structure, grammar and etc
    I also became good at drawing because i would watch how a person draws a certain thing and i copy it because trying to figure it out on my own will take time and i end up with no method.
    I also mastered all my current skills because i started off by copying the hand movements, the thinking process, the method and it's so helpful because your goal is absolutely clear.
    But now that I'm doing biology i can't get a hold of any method and i thought it was because i became dumb, but it's just naturally exhausting when you're forcing yourself to do something you don't like 😫

    Toggle track:
    It helps me to use and track my time of focus. I set 25 or 30 mins per round for deep focus on coding / learning and take small break for 5 mins. Besides, I will know how much time I spend each day and a week. I usually spend approximately 20-25 hours a week.
    Notion:
    I use it to take notes / practices of coding. It has format for different programing languages. For me it is super helpful! Also I can try to categorize different topics / themes or sections that I learn. It becomes an online knowledge base that I can use in my future. Also it can be easily shared through the links. So I can discuss it with my friends.
    I do enjoy the process of coding, especially make something from 0 to 1. I plan to look for an part-time internship opportunity next month or at the beginning of next year. Hopefully I can be a full-time software developer and keep coding in the future :D

    To my surprise I realized I already knew how to code most of the project (obviously using Google for a lot of the details) and I found out it is easier for me to take on a big project by dividing it in little steps and solving each one by one, then you realize you were able to accomplish something that looked very challenging at first.

    Good advices, as a beginner I also jump around many languages and projects.
    It looks like you're right, focusing on a good size project with one language is way more marketable than "hey look at my 75 github non-finished projects written in 15 different programming languages"
    Yet I won't focus on one project only because I qualify my learning style as "organic" and not "laser like", at the most I can have something which I come back frequently, yet roaming around and seeding ideas. Like a big tree in the forest with many little trees. I bet some will survive and become the new big tree in the futur.
